A Stuttgart man is alleging a woman ran him over with her vehicle, breaking both his legs, following an argument. The woman is reporting that the man jumped on the hood of her car, punched the windshield and broke her vehicle’s mirror.

Stuttgart Police Department Ptl. Jessica McSwain was dispatched to Baptist Health Medical Center-Stuttgart’s emergency room Tuesday for an alleged domestic battery patient. The 22-year-old Stuttgart man said at 11:15 p.m. the woman came to his home, located in the 1600 block of South Main Street, to take him to his cousin’s home.

“(The alleged victim) stated that (the woman) was calm for a while and then they began to argue so (she) told (him) to get out of her vehicle,” McSwain wrote in her SPD incident report that was released Tuesday.

The man said he left the intersection of Fifth and South Wood streets walking on foot when the 23-year-old Clarendon woman ran over him with her 1998 Mercury Cougar. The man said he flipped over the vehicle but he managed to grab the window frame so he wouldn’t hit the ground.

“He began to punch (the) windshield begging her to stop before he fell off the vehicle into the street,” McSwain said.

He said the woman drove away once he fell, but returned and threatened him allegedly saying, “you’re always in trouble anyway, nobody is going to believe you.”

He told the officer he then contacted someone to take him to the hospital by phone.

McSwain advised the man of the affidavit process to press charges, which could include second-degree domestic battery, which is a felony offense.

SPD Sgt. Cody Gillioun was dispatched to the 900 block of South Vine to speak with the woman who had a different take on the events that lead to the man’s injuries.

The woman said the man walked up to her to “talk to her for a minute.” She said the two began to argue and she tried to leave the area.

“(The woman) said that that’s when (the man) jumped onto the hood of her car and told her that she wasn’t going leave. (The woman) stated that she put her car into reverse and (he) began punching her windshield and stated to her that she was going to have to take him to the police department to get him off her hood,” Gillioun added to the SPD incident report.

She said the man broke a mirror off her vehicle on the driver’s side as she was driving. She told the officer when she slowed down, the man came off the hood and she left the scene.

The woman was also advised of the affidavit process to press charges for the damage to her vehicle, which could include second-degree criminal mischief, a misdemeanor offense.
